Freeze
kygo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We out on the rooftop of your car under the sky
I'll tell you the truth crossing my heart, hoping to die
I don't know nobody like you, no, nobody (hey, ooh, ah ah ah)
I'm watching a star, million lightyears away
I wish I could pause and hit replay
Yeah, 'cause summers go so fast

Darling, can we freeze?
Let me save this perfect memory
Remember how it feels like flying in the dark?
Like I must be awake inside a dream
Darling, can we freeze?
'Cause even though you're right here next to me
A part of me still feels like nothing ever lasts
Like I'm already missing you and me
Oh oh, can we freeze?

Darling, can we freeze?
Oh oh, can we freeze?
Darling, can we freeze?
Oh oh, can we freeze?

Why am I like this?
Why does my mind go racing?
This beautiful silence but I feel like I'm always waiting
Like it's just a matter of time til' it shatters

Darling, can we freeze?
Let me save this perfect memory
Remember how it feels like flying in the dark?
Like I must be awake inside a dream
Darling, can we freeze?
'Cause even though you're right here next to me
A part of me still feels like nothing ever lasts
Like I'm already missing you and me
Oh oh, can we freeze?

Oh oh, can we
Freeze?
Darling, can we freeze?




Darling, can we freeze?
Can we freeze?

Overall Meaning

Kygo's song "Freeze" is a sentimental ballad reflecting on the fleeting nature of life and love. The first verse sets the scene of two lovers sitting on the rooftop of a car, under the vast expanse of the sky. The singer tells his partner that there is nobody like them in the world, emphasizing their uniqueness and importance to him. However, he feels a sense of melancholy, watching a star millions of light-years away, wanting to pause the moment to make it last forever.


The chorus is a plea to freeze time because even though he's with his lover, he still feels a sense of impermanence and longing. The singer is overcome with the need to hold onto that perfect moment, like flying in the dark, and preserve it as a perfect memory. The second verse reveals the singer's vulnerability and anxiety about the future, wondering why his mind goes racing and feeling like he's always waiting for something to break the perfect moment. Throughout the song, the message is clear: even amidst the beauty and perfection of life, time marches inexorably forward, and we must learn to savor and cherish every moment, however fleeting.


The song is notable for its simple yet poignant lyrics, accompanied by sparse electronic beats and a haunting melody. The music video features a couple exploring a futuristic cityscape, gradually frozen in time as they dance and embrace. "Freeze" is a testament to the emotional depth and sensitivity of Kygo's music, capturing the delicate balance between joy and sorrow that defines human experience.

I had a love, 10 years went by
& then my Atlantis fell
I still pray for him
Wherever he is
That he is happy
That he is ok
I just wish I could go back and revisit some of our most special moments
& know what was coming
But it was not in God’s plan.

I’ll be ok. I’ll find love again

If I can just break down my own walls

This song was on a recommended playlist a few days ago. I've been playing it about 100 times ever since, to fall asleep, after I woke up, during the day.

I feel so glad and blessed this song was recommended to me! It gives me ALL emotions possible. Sometimes in a sad way, sometimes in a happy way.

Sometimes thinking of my beloved uncle who was like a father to me, lost him about 2 years ago; sometimes thinking of other loved ones i already lost. Then sometimes thinking of my current crush after almost 2 years of not feeling anything towards anyone which is kinda overwhelming and I wanna "freeze" this warmth he makes me feel deep inside.

Sometimes this song makes me think about how short life actually is but then again thinking I'm still here with a lot of people, being able to make a change.



THANK YOU FOR THIS MASTERPIECE KYGO ❤

I know it's hard brother , I lost my bestie too 2018 , let's grow from the pain and make ourselves free to the future and accept every moment with positivity cause I know the ones who left us would want us to be the best of ourselves, happy .

You want her and can't have her. You know she lived and you know she died. Sadness. Emotion. Pain. Love. And you are alive. ❤
